Maxi-Cosi - Lara 2.0

We had the maxi cosi lara2 for our oldest, it was great. Went abroad twice with us, and once to Mew Zealand when I lent it to a friend. Still in good condition so will get used again for our second. So would definitely recommend

I have the bugaboo fox 5 and the maxi cosi Lara 2 as our holiday/travel pram, which it is great for but absolutely could not use it every day. The brake gets in the way and it’s just not as sturdy. I know the fox 5 is bigger but I would absolutely always recommend bugaboo. They just feel so well made and well thought out for every day

We've just got the Maxi Cosi Lara 2 from amazon as it was recommended to us. Very light to handle (overall it's very light so not great if you need to put loads in the basket), easy to collapse and put up with 1 hand.

TLDR baby is now 8 months and we've just swapped from a huge Silvercross pram to a lightweight, easy to fold Maxi Cosi pram. We bought a Silvercross travel system on FB marketplace for £100. The seller had barely used it, it had every single accessory you could think of, bassinet, car seat, all the rain covers, etc. It's been brilliant for the last 8 months, but we've been fed up of it taking up the entire boot, so we've picked up a Maxi Cosi Lara 2 (apparently suitable from newborn) new in the prime day sales for £130. I'll resell the Silvercross pram as although the wheels now have some wear, it's in otherwise excellent condition.

Just to give an alternative to thr joolz Aer (which I agree is great!) we recently got a Maxi Cosi Lara 2 off the back of a recommendation from a friend. It cost £~130 in the black Friday sale and we're pleased with it so far, it's very light and easy to 1 handed fold down. It lies flat and has a decent sun shade. It's not as smooth as the joolz, however compared to the massive travel system we had before, it feels great!

Pour avoir investi dans une trio... Bah ça ne nous a jamais servi ! Ma petite était constamment en écharpe/aux bras et ne supportait pas d'être posée. Donc la poussette on s'en est servi peut-être une dizaine de fois. Par contre on a pris un modèle bien compact de chez maxi cosy quand elle a eu 8mois. Elle a trois ans, et même si on s'en sert moins parce qu'elle marche bien ou préfère les épaules, elle est toujours au top. Peut-être plutôt investir dans un bon porte bébé, c'est une bonne idée. J'étais très très fan des mei tai de love and carry, mais il en existe des tonnes. Et prenez de l'occasion, on en trouve plein. Et ma petite fait 12kg à 3ans, si ça peut aider. Elle est un peu sous la moyenne.

I'm going to buck the system and recommend against the infant seat. Just get a stroller with a bassinet or baby wear because you can only use those infant seats for 6-8 months and they cost the same or more as a convertible, and they're not supposed to be in them for more than 2 hours. Then they end up in a landfill. I'm about to be 3 kids in and we've never used one. My friend has 3 kids and never used one. Get a good infant carrier and a stroller that allows a complete recline. I love the Cybex Gazelle S that I bought when we found out we were surprise expecting baby 3, but before that I bought a used Maxi Cosi who's seat converts from bassinet to a toddler seat and I love it. 

We live in a rural area, so we checked facebook market place for the three biggest cities closest to us. Found high end brands for dirt cheap barely used. I can’t remember off the top of my head but I think we got an open box maxi cosi carseat stroller combo for $100. It was some set that would be $500+ normally brand new. I guess they received several of them at their baby shower so they sold the extra. We got lucky! :)
